What the course does

It cuts the song into 47 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

Questions

What BPM is My Bleeding Tears?

176 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is My Bleeding Tears hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

171 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 19 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in My Bleeding Tears?

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 169 and 170.
